workshops for Jews and Arabs,
encounter seminars for man-
agers, teachers and social educa-
tion administrators in Jewish
and Arab schools, and an adult
group leaders' course for Arab-
Jewish encounters. Last year
they conducted their first semi-
nar with Palestinians from Judea
and Samaria.
"A political solution to the prob-
lem between the Palestinians and
Israel can be found, but in reali-
ty we'll still have the same prob-
lems, especially inequality," said
Ms. Zak. 'We have to learn how
to be Jewish and democratic."
Like very other small commu-
nity, Neve Shalom has its share
of problems, said Ms. Zak. They
argue about the division of labor,
about finances, but none have to
do with the fact that they are
Arabs and Jews living together,
she said. Even last year's spate
of violent attacks against Jews,
she claimed, created no tension
between Arab and Jewish resi-
dents.
One mixed Arab-Jewish cou-
ple lives in Neve Shalom, but in-
termarriage is not the village's
goal, said Eyas. In fact, they work
to maintain the identity of each
group but in a pluralistic way.
'We think a great deal about
identity here," he said. "The chil-
dren know exactly who they are
and which are their holidays and
customs. Everybody here has
their own attitude towards in-
termarriage but I think that if the
price I have to pay for creating
a place like this is intermarriage,
then I'm willing to pay it."
The small communal
village constitutes
22 families.
Last year the village school,
founded in 1984 and providing
education up to eighth grade, was
recognized by the Ministry of Ed-
ucation and now receives some
funding from the government. In
1990 it was opened up to children
from the surroundning area, and
60 of the 90 schoolchildren now
come from outside Neve Shalom.
Arab and Jewish children learn
together and classes are taught
in both Arabic and Hebrew. Jew-
ish children are also taught Ara-
bic.
"We are tying to teach them
how to accept somebody who is
different from them," said Ms.
Zak, "and get the Jewish children
used to the idea of an Arab as an
authority figure."
"For me it's not so special," said
Sama, whose Israeli Arab par-
ents come from Nahariya. She
sits on the edge of her chair, fairly
bursting with energy and rock-
ing back and forth on the chair.
"I like living here. I have lots of
friends." El
